PRESS RELEASE
RETURN OF THE MOUNTAIN G.O.A.T. - THE OG HIMALAYAN IS BACK BY
COMMUNITY DEMAND WITH THE LAUNCH OF HIMALAYAN 440
● Celebrating 10 years of the Himalayan, the new Himalayan 440 brings back the
much-loved spirit of the original motorcycle - with an upgraded frame and even
stronger new heart
● New 443cc long-stroke engine paired with a six-speed gearbox for improved all-round
performance and effortless touring
● Prices start at ₹ 2,29,000 (ex-showroom) | Bookings open on September 4, 2026
Leh, September 4, 2026: Royal Enfield, the global leader in the mid-size motorcycle segment
(250cc–750cc), today launched the Himalayan 440 at the inaugural Himalayan Basecamp in Ladakh
Marking a decade since the Himalayan carved out a new vocabulary for adventure motorcycling in India,
the Himalayan 440 comes with an upgraded heart and an unchanged spirit.
Forged by the Himalayas, the OG Himalayan was purpose-built to flow with the terrain, not conquer it.
Its rugged simplicity and dependable character brought adventure within reach of many more riders,
finding favour with some of the world’s greatest explorers while accompanying thousands on their first
ascent into adventure. In time, its influence extended into a community and culture that placed
curiosity before conquest, and found as much meaning in the journey as in where it led.
In the past decade, the Himalayan brand, first through the OG Himalayan and then through its current
avatar the Himalayan 450, which was launched in 2023, has sold over 320,000 units globally, as it
continues to resonate with riders around the world.
Speaking about the Himalayan 440, B. Govindarajan, Managing Director - Eicher Motors Ltd. and
Chief Executive Officer - Royal Enfield, said, “Over the past decade, the Himalayan’s journey has
been deeply gratifying and emotional for us - one shaped by both the mountains and a global rider
community that transformed a simple adventure motorcycle into an international phenomenon. One of
our most cherished products, it opened the doors to adventure touring and exploration, paving the way
for extraordinary journeys from Everest Base Camp to the South Pole. The Himalayan 440 marks a
celebration of this incredible journey. Driven by the messages from our community and guided
thoughtfully by authentic rider feedback, the Himalayan 440 delivers precisely what was asked for - a
simple, accessible, and uncomplicated adventure tourer - the same essence that defined the OG
Himalayan.”
To commemorate the launch, initial units of the Himalayan 440 will feature an exclusive ten-year
anniversary badge on the fuel tank.
Available in three colours namely Sela Black, Mustang Brown, and Nelong White, the motorcycle is
priced at ₹ 2,29,000 (ex-showroom). Bookings will open across authorised Royal Enfield dealerships in
India and on royalenfield.com from September 4, 2026.
A decade after the launch of the original 411, the new Himalayan 440 stands as a testament to how far
that initial vision has evolved. It retains the iconic design and ergonomic rider triangle that established
the first model, while introducing an enhanced 443cc long-stroke engine, a new six-speed transmission,
and targeted mechanical refinements for increased durability, versatility, and touring comfort. The core
philosophy remains unchanged: function over frills, capability before complexity, and character above
all.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW HIMALAYAN 440:
● Long-stroke. Long haul
○ Enough power to climb. Enough torque to crawl: The upgraded 443cc single-cylinder,
long-stroke engine produces 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm at 4,000 rpm, delivering
stronger all-round performance with improved NVH (Noise-Vibration-Harshness).
○ A new six-speed gearbox with revised ratios makes low-speed riding easier while the
additional sixth gear enables more relaxed highway cruising and long-distance touring.
● Purpose-built for the Himalayas
○ The half-duplex split-cradle frame, 41mm telescopic front forks with 200mm travel and
linkage-type rear monoshock with 180mm wheel travel are engineered for confidence across
varied terrain.
○ 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels, 220mm ground clearance and a low centre of
gravity help it tackle roads and rocks, slush and snow, and everything in between.
● Made for 30-minute rides. Built for 30-day expeditions
○ The Himalayan’s upright riding position and low 800mm seat height make for easy
manoeuvrability and comfortable touring.
○ A 15-litre fuel tank and enhanced top-box capability support longer journeys with luggage.
● More control where it matters
○ A 300mm front disc with a two-piston floating caliper with larger pistons delivers firmer
feedback and more precise braking. It is paired with a 240mm rear disc, dual-channel ABS
which is switchable for greater control across changing terrain.
● Purposeful features
○ A new LED headlamp improves visibility, while the digital-analogue instrument cluster keeps
essential information within easy view.
○ Tripper navigation, USB Type-C charging and enhanced luggage capability add further
practicality for longer journeys.
Royal Enfield’s range of accessories has been developed to extend the Himalayan 440’s utility across
varied riding needs. The portfolio includes hard panniers, top boxes, touring seats, adventure
handguards, engine guards and other protection accessories, allowing riders to configure the
motorcycle with additional luggage, comfort and protection as required.
● Protection: Adventure Engine Guards can be paired with Sliders to offer riders flexible and
configurable protection for the motorcycle.
● Luggage: The addition of a Top Box and Panniers enhances the touring capability of the
Himalayan 440 based on individual rider preferences.
● Functional Accessories: Hand Guards, Touring Seats, and Tapered Mirrors allow for
personalization across diverse riding experiences while improving overall practicality.
Royal Enfield now offers a comprehensive 7-year Extended Warranty along with Roadside Assistance
across its range of motorcycles, further enhancing customer confidence and ownership experience. This
extended coverage includes an additional 4 years or 40,000 km (whichever is earlier) over and above the
standard warranty of 3 years / 30,000 km or 40,000 km (650cc motorcycles), providing riders with
long-term assurance and peace of mind on every ride.
The motorcycle was unveiled at the inaugural Himalayan Basecamp (HBC) – Ladakh Edition, India’s
first immersive adventure intersection. Bringing together the many faces of the adventure mindset —
from riders and overlanders to climbers, mountaineers and explorers — HBC celebrates the many ways
of exploring the outdoors through shared experiences, challenges and expeditions.
